Internet. The PAD or X.25 WAN Miniport, used in conjunction with Microsoft RAS,
provides remote dial-in users with access to corporate LAN resources. Drivers for
Microsoft Host Integration Server provide WAN support and extend Host Integration
Server’s ability to connect to SNA hosts around the world.
